Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Almobarak, Mohammed (author), van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Brackenhoff, Joeri (author), Meles, Giovanni (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The Marchenko algorithm can suppress the disturbing effects of internal multiples that are present in seismic reflection data. To achieve this, a set of coupled equations with four unknowns is solved. These coupled equations are separated into a set of two equations with two unknowns using a time window. The two unknown focusing functions can...journal article 2024

van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author), Brackenhoff, Joeri (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The data-driven Marchenko method is able to redatum wavefields to arbitrary locations in the subsurface, and can, therefore, be used to isolate zones of specific interest. This creates a new reflection response of the target zone without interference from over- or underburden reflectors. Consequently, the method is well suited to obtain a...journal article 2023

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Meles, G.A. (author), Koehne, Victor (author), Barrera, Diego (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We implement the 3D Marchenko equations to retrieve responses to virtual sources inside the subsurface. For this, we require reflection data at the surface of the Earth that contain no free-surface multiples and are densely sampled in space. The required 3D reflection data volume is very large and solving the Marchenko equations requires a...journal article 2022

(author), Zhang, L. (author), Reinicke Urruticoechea, C. (author)With the Marchenko method it is possible to retrieve Green's functions between virtual sources in the subsurface and receivers at the surface from reflection data at the surface and focusing functions. A macro model of the subsurface is needed to estimate the first arrival; the internal multiples are retrieved entirely from the reflection data....journal article 2021

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We create virtual sources and receivers in a 3-D subsurface using the previously derived single-sided homogeneous Green's function representation. We employ Green's functions and focusing functions that are obtained using reflection data at the Earth's surface, a macrovelocity model, and the Marchenko method. The homogeneous Green's function is...journal article 2021

(author)Since the introduction of the Marchenko method in geophysics, many variants have been developed. Using a compact unified notation, we review redatuming by multidimensional deconvolution and by double focusing, virtual seismology, double dereverberation and transmission-compensated Marchenko multiple elimination, and discuss the underlying...conference paper 2020

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We aim to monitor and characterize signals in the subsurface by combining these passive signals with recorded reflection data at the surface of the Earth. To achieve this, we propose a method to create virtual receivers from reflection data using the Marchenko method. By applying homogeneous Green's function retrieval, these virtual receivers...journal article 2019

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In recent years, progress has been made in the field of virtual seismology. Using the novel data-driven Marchenko method, virtual sources and receivers can be created in the subsurface using only reflection data at the surface of the Earth and a background velocity model of the subsurface. Extensive studies have been performed on the application...abstract 2019

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)The earthquake seismology and seismic exploration communities have developed a variety of seismic imaging methods for passive- and active-source data. Despite the seemingly different approaches and underlying principles, many of those methods are based in some way or another on Green's theorem. The aim of this paper is to discuss a variety of...journal article 2019

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)To enhance monitoring of the subsurface, virtual sources and receivers inside the subsurface can be created from seismic reflection data at the surface of the Earth using the Marchenko method. The response between these virtual sources and receivers can be obtained through the use of homogeneous Green's function retrieval. A homogeneous Green's...journal article 2019

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)Time-reversal acoustics, seismic interferometry, back propagation, source-receiver redatuming and imaging by double focusing are all based in some way or another on Green's theorem. An implicit assumption for all these methods is that data are available on a closed boundary, a condition that is never met in geophysical practice. As a...conference paper 2019

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Forecasting induced seismicity responses for field data is difficult if no detailed model of the subsurface is available, which generally is the case. As an alternative, reflection data of the subsurface and a non-detailed background model can be used in the Marchenko method to obtain virtual receivers in the subsurface. By employing homogeneous...conference paper 2019

(author)A virtual acoustic source inside a medium can be created by emitting a time-reversed point-source response from the enclosing boundary into the medium. However, in many practical situations the medium can be accessed from one side only. In those cases the time-reversal approach is not exact. Here, we demonstrate the experimental design and...journal article 2018

(author)Marchenko imaging is a novel imaging technique that is capable to retrieve images from single-sided reflection measurements free of artefacts related to internal multiples (e.g. Behura et al., 2014; Broggini et al., 2012).

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In wave theory, a Green’s function is defined as the response of a medium to an impulsive point source. The homogeneous Green’s function is the combination of the Green’s function and its time-reversal. Homogeneous Green’s functions can be retrieved if the medium is enclosed by a boundary where the full wavefield is recorded. In recent years,...abstract 2017
